Commandment 305 B’midbar 18:4 4They shall be joined to you and safeguard the charge of the Tent of Meeting fro the entire service of the Tent, and an alien shall not approach you. Commandment 306 5You shall safeguard the charge of the Holy and the charge of the Altar, and there shall be no more wrath against the Children of Israel.

Yechezk’el 44:10-14 10But those Levi'im who distanced themselves from Me during Israel's straying, when they strayed from Me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity. 11They may be attendants in My Sanctuary, responsible for the gates of the Temple, serving the Temple; they may slaughter the Olah-Offering and feast-offering of the people, and they may stand before them to serve them. 12But because they minister [to the people] before their idols, and they became a stumbling-block of iniquity for the house of Israel, therefore I have raised My hand against them — the word of Adonai HASHEM Eloheim — and they shall bear their iniquity. 13They shall not approach Me to serve Me, or to approach My holy places, to the Holy of Holies; but they shall bear their shame and their abominations that they have committed. 14Yet I will make them guardians of the charge of the House, for all its service and for everything that is done in it. Mal’akhi 2:8 8But you have veered from the path; you have caused many people to stumble through [your] teaching. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,  says HASHEM Master of Legions. Corinthians Rishon 3:17 17If anyone defiles the Beit Ha'Miqdash of God, God will destroy him. For the Beit Ha'Miqdash of God is holy, which you are.

Eating creeping things that creep upon the earth. If it isn't kosher, don't eat it!

Vayikra 11:41-47      41Every teeming creature that teems upon the ground – it is an abomination, it shall not be eaten. 42Everything that creeps on its belly, and everything that walks on four legs, up to those with numerous legs, among all the teeming things that teem upon the earth, you may not eat them, for they are and abomination. 43Do not make yourselves abominable by means of any teeming thing: do not contaminate yourselves through them lest you become contaminated through them.      44For I am HASHEM, your God — you are to sanctify yourselves and you shall be holy, for I am holy; and you shall not contaminate yourselves through any teeming thing that creeps on the earth. 45For I am HASHEM Who elevates you from the land of Egypt to be an God unto you; you shall be holy, for I am holy.      46This is the law of the animal, the bird, and every living creature that swarms in the water, and for every creature that teems on the ground; 47to distinguish between the contaminated and the pure, and between the creature that may be eaten and the creature that may not be eaten.’”

Vayikra 15    A man or woman having a discharge from their bodies.

Vayikra 18    Sexual immorality.

Commandment 49
Do not pass you children through the fire to Molech.

Vayikra 20:1-5             1HASHEM spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Say to the Children of Israel: ‘Any man from the Children of Israel and from the proselyte who lives with Israel, who shall give his seed to Molech, shall be put to death; the people of the land shall pelt him with stones. 3I shall concentrate My attention upon that man, and I shall cut him off from among his people, for he had given from his offspring to Molech in order to defile My Sanctuary and to desecrate My holy Name. 4But if the people of the land avert their eyes from that man when he gives from his offspring to Molech, not to put him to death — 5then I shall concentrate My attention upon that man and his family; I will cut off from among their people, him and all who stray after him to stray after the Molech.’

You may ask yourself "How can I give my children to Molech?" Molech is a false fire god of the Canaanites and Ammonites. The Canaanites and Ammonites regularly sacrificed their children to Molech by "passing them through fire," i.e., burning them to death. The sacrificial rite involved placing infants and toddlers in the outstretched arms of a large hollow metal idol (probably shaped like a bull or a man with a bull's head). Beneath the idol a fire was started, and when the metal sides of the idol were hot enough, the arms were lifted mechanically, causing the child to slide through an opening in the idol's mouth or chest. The child was trapped in the belly of the idol and was slowly roasted to death. The parents, along with the rest of the celebrants of this mad ritual, danced and cavorted to loud music, which was played to drown out the screams of the children. Somehow, this abominable practice made its way into the Israelite camps, hence the stricture against the practice was included in the list of prohibitions of Vayikra and D’varim.

If you believe that abortion is OK and you have had one or you have helped someone have one, what happened to the aborted child? It was placed in an incinerator and burned. Whether you like it or not, the procedures follow the same rules as the sacrifices to the false ancient god. Welcome to the wonderful world of Molech!

Eating whatever dies naturally of itself. The Road Kill Cafe is closed. Vayikra 22:8 8He shall not eat from a carcass or from a torn animal, to be contaminated through it — I am HASHEM. Having a discharge of leprosy (sin) or touching a dead body. B’midbar 5:1-3      1HASHEM spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Command the Children of Israel that they shall expel from the camp everyone with tzara'at, everyone who has had a zav-emission, and everyone contaminated by a human corpse. 3Male and female alike shall you expel, to the outside of the camp shall you expel them, so that they should not contaminate their camps, among which I dwell.

Corinthians Rishon 6:18-19 18Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19Or do you not know that your body is the Beit Ha'Miqdash of the Ruach Ha'Kodesh (Holy Spirit) who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? Corinthians Shanee 6:14-16 14Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15And what accord has Messiah with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16And what agreement has the Beit Ha'Miqdash of God with idols? For you are the Beit Ha'Miqdash of the living God. As God has said: I will walk among you, I will be God unto you and you will be a people unto Me. Vayikra 26:12; Yirme’yahu 32:38; Yechezk’el 37:27 17Therefore                 “Come out from among them and be separate, says HASHEM.                     Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you                    Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.” Yesha’yahu 52:11; Yechezk’el 20:34,41             18 “I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says HASHEM Almighty.” Sh’mu’el Shanee 7:14

One for the Levi! The basic text here gives simple instructions: The Levi (and we are the Levi) guard it from the outside, the Kohen (the Messiah) from the inside.

Technically, the Kohen kept watch in three places: The chambers of Abtinas, the Hearth, and the Flame.

The other twenty-one stations were guarded by Levi. All of them were guarded in rotation, by the twenty-four orders that stood watch. Why was it guarded? To keep the ceremonially impure from entering, a mourner, or a leper— or worse, whenever conquering armies rode in, they helped form the final wall of defense against the invaders.

To make matters a little more difficult, there was an officer of the watch who would patrol the Beit Ha'Miqdash and the stations, and whose job was to make sure no one was asleep at their posts. In the unlikely event that a Levi dozed off, he was risking a rude awakening by being beaten with a staff. Whack!

How can an Israelite keep this commandment? Simple enough: As mentioned before, the Beit Ha'Miqdash can also be seen as your soul. Do not permit any activity or item in your life that would corrupt your soul. Those things marked as impure, keep away from. The number of stations show you that you can make your journey in stages, by taking things one step at a time. Each time you grow another step closer to the Torah and holiness, be proud of that accomplishment. But also be aware that you still have levels ahead of you, each to be conquered one at a time.

  I have begun keeping this commandment.
